Junction's Cabin - A Wolf Crossing Cabin - next to Yellowstone Park
Wolf Crossing - Junction Cabin is large1 bedroom cabin in Silver Gate approximately 3000' from the Northeast Entrance to Yellowstone and approximately 3 miles from Cooke City on Highway 212 (National Park Road and the Beartooth Highway).This area is as close to Alaska as you can get in the Lower 48 States. Due to the elevation (about 7400), the temperatures are similar, the wildlife viewing is as good or better. There are even permanent glaciers above us high in the Beartooth Mountains. The small town and residents remind me of the show, Northern Exposure. It is remote, wild and rustic here. Also, a host is on site for information or to hire for hiking/fishing/hunting help - or to cater your dinner. People who love wildlife and trout fishing (Clark’s Fork River and the numerous mountain lakes). This is the Park entrance nearest to the Lamar River Valley – and the Soda Butte Creek Valley – and the Beartooth Pass/Absaroka Wilderness area (outside the Park). We have had moose, deer, bear – black and grizzly in our yard. Wolves are often seen in the valley. (No, you don’t always see them. If you did, they would change the name to “Yellowstone Zoo”.) This is one of the premier areas of the world for wildlife viewing. The cabin has a shower, a queen -size bed, a full size refrigerator, a microwave, a full size oven/stove, large kitchen sink and a coffee maker. WE HAVE SATELLITE TELEVISION WITH 150 CHANNELS AS WELL AS WIRELESS INTERNET FOR YOUR LAPTOP and free 48 state calling - via Star Link! No reviews here yet but we have 2 adjacent places with excellent reviews.
There is a general store in town within walking distance as well as the Log Cabin Restaurant and the Stop the Car Store and the Silver Gate General Store. In addition to Yellowstone National Park, we are surrounded by the Absaroka Wilderness as well as the Gallatin National Forest. Great hunting, fishing, hiking, cross country skiing, snowmobiling, kayaking and wildlife viewing abounds. This cabin makes a quiet and unique base-camp for a world of outdoor activities. We have pine martens and foxes around constantly hunting. I blame their laxness if any mice should appear.

Friendly hosts
We loved staying here! My only complaint is that the bathroom was downstairs & the toilet was upstairs. Nice location! It was close to Haden Vally. The villages near this property were very cutie and we met a lot of wonderful people & had a wonderful time. Would come back again!

Property owner was very friendly and always there to help with any needs. Place is clean and quiet. Nice surprise to be greeted by a family of deer in front of the cabin. Our plan this year was to be closer to Lamar Valley. The cabin is minutes away from Lamar Valley. Very convenient and relaxing for a quiet nature getaway.
Remarkable location, though very limited views from property. Moderately well equipped kitchen, but no grill. Bedroom is exactly as pictures. Just enough furniture in living area. TV and internet work, not a given in this area.
Perfect in every way for us. The location to Lamar was what we were looking for. Actually the cabin is better than what the listing photos indicate. Loved having the full kitchen and washer dryer. The beds were very comfortable and bedding and towels were ample. The location allowed us to stay in Lamar late into the evening. WiFi was reliable and fast. Host was friendly and offered lots of suggestions on things to do. Highly recommend.

Why they chose this property
We are right off the road but often have animals in the yard - pine martens, bison, moose, fox. You can walk to the store and restaurant in Silver Gate - or go on hiking down the Bannock Trail there right into Yellowstone! Soda Butte creek is across the road.
